Bug ID: 115477
Summary: Restore edit buffer to extend the Special Character
dialog
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu
With GSOC 2017 refactoring of Special Character dialog we've removed the
"Characters:" string buffer. Characters are now directly picked & placed into
document one by one with support for Recently used and Favorite glyphs.
Removed from the refactored GUI was its edit buffer, where in the past we could
assemble picked unicode glyphs and combining diacritics into text strings to be
pasted into the document.
While not of immediate use to our Benjamin users, it is a basic requirement for
any polyglot user, or the Eve user who occasionally has to prepare paragraph
text with alternate scripts.
It is very useful IME for alternate language script input without having to
change paragraph languag or keyboard mappings.
Providing an edit buffer field, or dialog frame, to use the CharMap selected
font to assemble picked glyphs into strings, or full sentences, would be great.
Additional bells and whistles might include spellcheck and application of style
to the buffer string.
